Disney+ vs Netflix: Should YOU switch? What is the difference in service?

DISNEY is heading for a busy 2019 with Avengers: Endgame poised to smash historic box office records and the impending release of flagship streaming platform Disney+. Should you switch from Netflix to Disney+?

Disney+ is Walt Disney Studios’ fabled Netflix killer, a streaming service with all-new Disney shows and original content. The platform was announced back in November 2018 and is scheduled for official release on November 12 2019. The creation of Disney+ comes at a great cost to Netflix, as the service will lose all of its Disney-licensed content when a 2012 agreement between the two companies runs out. This could result in a fierce war as the two billion-dollar services compete in cornering the streaming market.

Netflix has become a household name over the past decade for holding a huge volume of films and television series.

Among their selection are both original content and a slew of fan favourites the platform has licensed from other studios.

The concept with Disney+ is different, as it includes all of its own original films and television.

Among offerings from Disney+ are the ‘Mouse’s film and animation vault’, the entire catalogue of Pixar movies, and National Geographic.

Disney is also including all of its past and present Disney Channel material in the service.

On top of this, the company is spending on all-new programming, such as incoming series Falcon and the Winter Soldier, WandaVision and Loki.

While many people are likely to turn to Disney+ for their Disney needs, Netflix will keep people coming back for their variety of fan-favourite TV shows and films not available under the Disney umbrella.
